Two months of photos

Here's Lindsey in her lovely yellow and black ensemble for the military ball. She went with three of her friends.




One of Lindsey's BFFs, Alex.
Here's my niece's new daughter, Marren, whom she adopted from Ethiopia, arriving in the United States with her the same time as the military ball. I can't wait to meet her soon!

Cupcakes that I baked, and topped with a chocolate truffle, which Sarah had given me for Valentine's Day. I took them to the choir booster club meeting to celebrate Elizabeth's birthday.
Paige and Shana, two of my besties.
Shana made cupcakes, glazed with a chocolate ganache.
Cheryl B. and the rest of us know what this wink is all about. ;-)
Out to dinner at Chili's to cheer Alex up.
Guy troubles apparently.
Tricia is amazing. We love her.
Trombone practice time.
Alice in Wonderland at the IMAX in 3-D for Family Home Evening.
What a great way to kick off spring break.
The next night, we went to the rodeo and afterwards, we were treated to a concert by Jordin Sparks, former American Idol winner.
The fair and rodeo=junk food.
Jordin had never performed at a rodeo.
Foot long corn dogs for dinner!
If Doctor Bob could see me now.
The rodeo was a lot of fun to watch.
We had a fun night out!
There were a couple of big birds on my neighbor's vacant house. This house is for sale now. Anyone want to be our neighbor?
I baked some fabulous carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, and boxed them up so festively as gifts.
For St. Patrick's Day, I cooked corned beef and cabbage with new potatoes for the first time, and served it with green 7-Up! It was so delicious and I'm going to start making this every year on March 17.
There's nothing quite as cheerful as a bouquet of fresh cut flowers.
I bought some new yellow plates on clearance at $3.49 each from Pottery Barn. Love 'em.
Lunch at La Madeleine with Sue and Kay.

You are always doing fun things at your house. I like the pictures of your everyday stuff like Christopher playing the trombone. Ah the good ol' days of music practice.

Lindsey is such a cute girl, I love that she picks such great dresses that are flattering as well as not too showy.

The rodeo looks like it was so much fun. I will admit that I am a fan of the bull riding. I think those guys are totally nuts but I also really enjoy the insanity of the sport.

I like the cute things that you are always making. You never run out of great ideas.

Hi Kelly,
The rodeo looked fun! Was Jordin a good performer?
Lindsey looks pretty in her yellow dress. Christopher needs to stick with the trombone so he can be in the Pride of Oklahomna! He needs some good Okie brainwashing before that will happen I am sure.
Those corndogs look amazing!

San Antonio temple weekend

Here am I (five months pregnant), with Hannah, Kelly, Lindsey, and Christopher, walking out of the San Antonio temple after our new daughter was sealed to us for time and for all eternity during a special, sacred ceremony, this past Saturday afternoon.  We were happy to have a wonderful group of guests in attendance with us, Kelly's two sisters, Debbie and Brenda, my sister, Julie, Kelly's mom and dad, my mom, my good friends Lorraine and Stewart, Carol and Rick, and one person from our ward, my buddy, Sue. Dinner later that night consisted of a feast at the Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas, for some incredible pork ribs, cole slaw, and more. We strolled along the Riverwalk to show our visiting family members one of San Antonio's popular tourist spots.  It was a beautiful, windy day, the Saturday following Thanksgiving, in San Antonio.  We tried to find a corner with less wind to blow in our faces.  More photos of the family.  The family, strolling along th...

Triathlon triumph

Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...
